RDN looks to residents to help shape active transportation plan in Cedar 

The Regional District of Nanaimo is seeking public input to help develop an active transportation network plan for Cedar Village. 

An online survey will collect feedback, and the RDN will host an in-person drop-in open house on Nov. 26 at Cedar Heritage Centre from 3 to 7 p.m. 

The district said the plan will build on a 2009 active transportation plan and the 2013 Cedar Main Street Village Plan while looking to improve walking, cycling and other active transportation options. 

“The plan will guide the development of a comprehensive network with safer, more modern infrastructure in the Cedar Village area and strengthen connections to broader regional and provincial active transportation routes,” the RDN said in a news release. 

The plan will aim to create safer routes and better connections while preparing the community for provincial and federal grant opportunities.
